Fire breaks out in furniture warehouses in Thane

Mohammad Ansari, a shopkeeper, said: “Lots of cars, papers and other things have been burnt. We have suffered a loss of more than 20-30 lakhs rupees ”

Several fire brigades were rushed to the area.

Many people who were sleeping in the shops fled as the fire spread.

Ramesh Seth, another shopkeeper, said: “We were at our homes when it happened. A spark of fire may have hit the rooftop of the room that was made of plastic and it caught fire,” The reason for the fire is still unknown. No casualties were reported in the incident. (ANI)
